Entamoeba histolytica antigen assays on stool are widely used to diagnose amebiasis. We report a case of confirmed amebic colitis with a false-negative antigen detection that became positive after treatment. Our results indicate that these assays may

I read with great interest the paper written by Ozin et al. [1], describing the presence and diagnosis of amebic infestation in Turkish patients with active ulcerative colitis (UC). They searched for stool Entamoeba histolytica antigen by using ELISA

A promising new ELISA method developed by Root et al. to diagnose amoebiasis by the detection of Entamoeba histolytica coproantigen was tested in Mexico City and was reported to be more than twice as sensitive as microscopy. In this study the same pr
